Two guys from Germany, Nayan Soukie & Fritz Windish. Inspired by the poem “Kubla Khan” by S.T. Colerige, they have realized a trippy methaporic EP on URSL. To know them better have a look below. Enjoy!

What can we see on your cover art? Who is the designer?

The illustration is inspired by the poem “Kubla Khan” from S.T. Coleridge written in 1797. It shows the emperor Kubla Khan and his pleasure dome Xanadu with the river Alph floating through the caverns.

Here are the first lines of the poem:

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea. (lines 1–5)

Our Illustrator Philip Cassirer (www.abcassirer.de) is doing all our artworks for the label always very colorful and surreal. He is also illustrating graphic novels and released his own comic about his travels through India at Carlsen Comics.

Why did you choose it as Cover for your EP?

The poem is very inspiring and powerful and we used the upper phrase in the break of our track Kubla Khan and then we choose to use the other metaphors in the poem like Alph, the sacred river the sunless sea and fertile grounds for the names of the other tracks. And our illustrator made his version of Kubla Khan and Xanadu.

Can you describe the music of your EP in few words?

It is rather slow and trippy techno with a strong attitude and psychedelic sounds and pads. It works really good on open air occasions.

Soukie & Windish: do you remember the first time you meet us? Upcoming releases?

No we do not remember :-)…have we meet you guys? Where? Our next release will be some remixes and a new EP on the spanish label Suruba
